Date Renewal
2016. Full hotel renovation done by Lázaro Rosa Violán
2022. New Camiral Suites designed by Bryan O’Sullivan studio. Bryan O’Sullivan Studio has created seven timeless and elegant suites reflecting the hotel’s grounding holistic ethos.
The double sized Camiral Suites are directly connected to the Wellness Centre which promotes health and wellbeing with the support of the latest state-of-the-art technology. Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, the design team behind the Berkeley Bar and Terrace in London and The Maybourne Riviera in Monaco, carefully considered the flow of the room and how it connects both with the Wellness Centre, the extensive grounds and the overall healthy ethos of the resort. The interior design studio equipped the suites with furniture and lighting sourced or manufactured in Europe to reduce carbon emissions, while selecting locally sourced materials including stones and woods for both their inherent design qualities and their sustainable credentials.
Each suite is designed to support guests’ wellbeing by providing ample living spaces inside and out, including a sitting room, walk-in dressing room, bathroom and bedroom with a double balcony that incorporates sitting and dining furniture as well as biophilic planting. At 72m square in size, the suites offer the luxury of space and light in an apartment-style layout, with a wall of full-length windows looking out over the pool and more than 1,300 acres of Mediterranean forest, connecting with nature.
2021. New Wellness Centre: The resort’s latest offering is a deeply-considered Wellness Centre spanning some 1,000 square metres. Thoughtful natural rituals are designed to revive, restore and inspire, and specialist support and supervision is provided by a caring, professional team and medical partners including vitamins expert Dr Saskia Kloppenburg and Mireia Cervera, nutritionist of the Flax and Kale group. Next-generation technology reaches areas hands cannot, using targeted equipment that is normally only available at medical clinics or elite athlete facilities including cryotherapy, oxygen chamber therapy, photobiomodulation and IV infusions.
Whilst tailor made programmes are sculpted to each individual’s needs, there are also wellbeing packages including retreats devised for detoxing, aging well and boosting immunity as well as effective sports recovery programmes.
